I'm fairly certain what I've attached is it, but You should thoroughly check anyway.

I googled 4M4PBOX1 bios, then found this https://panam.gateway.com/support/drivers/get … 1&uid=503132801
Next I googled 7508283.exe and found it here.. http://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php? … 39&action=filfo

I spent less than 10 minutes looking.

This thread is a perfect example of why I enjoy these forums so much. So many people seem to like solving obscure problems and testing their Google-Foo that it makes even the most annoying or hopeless retro-PC problem seem fixable.

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

They are all fixable if you are one with the Tao.
